So you still got no answer from your texts, and there’s no delivery verification either. Anyway, the person who has blocked you will never receive any of your messages whether you’ve enabled this option. If this wasn’t the case, there wouldn’t be any notification below the messages, and they would have been iMessages (blue bubble) instead of SMS (green bubble). To do that, you long press on the message bubble and tap “Send as Text Message” from the pop-up menu. This is because the blocked number has used the “Send as Text Message” feature on their iPhone. The following two messages (green bubble) are SMS with a notification indicating they were sent as “Text Message”. We sent this message before the other number blocked us. I'd try and get it working on all the other devices first and only then try and add your iPhone 5 into your ecosystem.As you can see from the above picture, the first message (blue bubble) is an iMessage with a delivery notification below it (Delivered). I'm also not sure if you're going to run into problems trying to get it to work on 2 phone devices. I think you'd really benefit from updating your iPad Air to iOS 8.whatever instead of trying to get it to work with iOS6 On your iPhone 6 go into settings -> messages -> text message forwarding and enable it on all of your devices (that should all be connected to the internet).Įnter the relevant codes that pop up on your devices If your email isn't listed then add it (if your number isn't listed then repeat the above step)

This seemed to update my iMessage associated number (which doesn't seem to apply to your situation since you didn't change numbers - so perhaps you can skip this)Įnsure that on all your devices iCloud accounts that your email AND (correct) phone number are listed. Signing out of iCloud on your devices and then (starting with your phone) signing back into all of them. I had a similar problem when I changed SIM cards (though I also changed numbers). How can I SMS/MMS non-iPhone people from my iPad / iPod / Macs? I'm uncertain if the change of carriers has anything to do with it, but that's the only significnat change that's taken place that I'm aware of, and correlation always implies causation. I can only text message non-Apple users by directly using my iPhone 6 running iOS Also, all devices are logged in with the same Apple ID. I can no longer use the iMessage program on my Macs nor can I use the Messages app on my iPad / iPod (okay, iPhone 5 with no cell signal) to text message friends that are not themselves Apple iPhone users. I recently switched to T-Mobile and ported over my ATT number. All devices were always aware of each conversation as they happened. I could switch between devices and continue conversations with no problem.

Android / non-iPhone users in general always used SMS/MMS and texts showed up as green across all devices.

Apple users received texts via the iMessage protocol and those messages showed up across all devices as blue.

I was on AT&T for years with multiple iPhones and I was able to use the iMessage app on my Mac laptops and the Messages app on my iPads to send text messages to people who used Android phones.

MacBook Air Mid 2012 running Yosemite 10.10.4.
